Has anyone used C by GE? I want to get one to control my pool light(no neutral) but the reviews are kind of scary. I normally don’t go by reviews cause when it comes to tech is usually #UserError but checking to see if anyone here has tried them yet.

I don’t have the no neutral but I installed some of the normal ones the other week. In my set up they’re kind of useless. They don’t sync with Wink or IFTTT. They may work with Smarthings but I haven’t installed that hub yet. It did work with my Google Hub but that doesn’t allow me to do location based rules. They were also a terrible pain to set up. They link directly to the WiFi but trying to set them up they just kept failing to find my network. It wouldn’t find any network in fact. I installed two switches last weekend and so far only one was able to find the network. They are easy to install because they come with wires already hard-wired so all you have to do is twist their wires into existing wires.
